Chili With Sausage and Jalapeno

This is a real tasty sweet and spicy beanless chili that I tried from Bon Appetit magazine. The recipe was found in the RSVP section as a request from a restaurant in Rochester New York called Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. We loved it and beans could be added easily if you are a bean fan.

This is one of my go to recipes. It gets rave reviews every time I make it. I made a few small changes to make it my own, but I think it would be just as delicious as is. <br/><br/>I leave out the ground beef and use 1 lb beef kielbasa, sliced into about 1/4" thick semi circles. I change out crushed tomatoes for diced. I cut the brown sugar in half. And I add 2C cooked kidney beans at the end (about a can). Thanks so much for sharing! <br/><br/>I wanted to share the love, so I posted a link to this on my fledgling blog at theexperimentalgarden.blogspot.com/
